Lyrics
In this life, one thing counts
In the bank, large amounts
I'm afraid these don't grow on trees
You've got to pick a pocket or two
You've got to pick a pocket or two, boys
You've got to pick a pocket or two
Large amounts don't grow on trees
You've got to pick a pocket or two
Let's show Oliver how to do it, my dears
Why should we break our backs
Stupidly paying tax?
Better get some untaxed income
Better pick a pocket or two
You've got to pick a pocket or two, boys
You've got to pick a pocket or two
Why should we all break our backs?
Better pick a pocket or two
Who says crime doesn't pay?
Robin Hood, what a crook
Gave away what he took
Charity's fine
Subscribe to mine
Get out and pick a pocket or two
You've got to pick a pocket or two, boys
You've got to pick a pocket or two
Robin Hood was far too good
He had to pick a pocket or two
My merry me, ha-ha-ha-ha
Take a tip from Bill Sikes
He can whip what he likes
I recall
He started small
He had to pick a pocket or two
You've got to pick a pocket or two, boys
You got to pick a pocket or two
We could be like old Bill Sikes
If we pick a pocket or two
If at first you don't succeed
When I see someone rich
Both my thumbs start to itch
Only to find some piece of mind
I have to pick a pocket or two
You've got to pick a pocket or two, boys
You've got to pick a pocket or two
Just to find some piece of mind
You have to pick a pocket or two
